Finally. Live feed.

Snowboard slopestyle is amazing.

It really is. Will do wonders for the sport from now on having it in the Olympics. Can't wait to see what it's like in South Korea for 2018.

 

[Heel]

Maybe the top of the course is in rough shape? Almost everyone is having trouble with the first rail.

Snowboard slopestyle is amazing.

It's really is. First time I'm seeing it.

 

[TheAbsolution]

The Canada announcers for slopestyle make this sound way more exciting too.

 

[Hours Left]

Why is that person knitting? XD

 

[Juicy Bob]

Oh wow. The BBC online coverage is fantastic.

 

[DrEvil]

Why is that person knitting? XD

Subliminal lobbying for its future inclusion as an Olympic sport.

 

[Heel]

NBC's slopestyle announcer does nothing to enhance the broadcast. Someone get Jim Ross out there.

 

[shadowkat]

Hardly anyone has had a clean run.

 

[zroid]

Max!!! woooooooo

 

[DrEvil]

Gooo max!

 

[DrM]

I don't think even the judges know.

If i understand this correctly, there are 2 judges for each part of the track (track is divided into three parts). But I could be wrong

 

[Kazerei]

Hardly anyone has had a clean run.

Yeah, it's weird, the guys who qualified straight to the final had amazing runs in the qualifying round

 

[Branduil]

Is it the best of 2 runs?

 

[GhostWriter24]

Finland is gassed in the 2nd

 

[2Crisis]

NBC's slopestyle announcer does nothing to enhance the broadcast. Someone get Jim Ross out there.

And you can hear the guys they had at the xgames announcing at the event, weird choice.

 

[BigJonsson]

I hope the 2nd runs are better....

 

[criesofthepast]

Wow Canadians all landing on their butts.

 

[zroid]

;_;

pressure's on now

 

[shadowkat]

So close.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Is it the best of 2 runs?

Yep.

Go Max!

 

[Brinbe]

keep fucking up on that last jump, damn it. Just land it

 

[DrEvil]

Run 2 is where the fun begins. I'm predicting a lot of risk being taken and some nasty falls as a result.

 

[BravestOrphan]

run 2 gunna be nuts

 

[TheAbsolution]

Run 2 is where the fun begins. I'm predicting a lot of risk being taken and some nasty falls as a result.

Yeah. The 2 run format really works for this competition. More exciting.

 

[MeBecomingI]

Fuuuuuuuck.

 

[joesmokey]

Slopestyle is pretty fun to watch. The NBC commentator is not doing a good job at explaining any of the tricks being pulled off.

 

[Booty Patrol]

Where can I watch the opening ceremony if I missed it

 

[DrM]

Em, scrap my previous post, there are 6 judges for whole track and lowest and highest score are scrapped.

 

[Madness]

Slopestyle is pretty fun to watch. The NBC commentator is not doing a good job at explaining any of the tricks being pulled off.

The guys doing CBC one are not bad. Explaining a lot of things, what gets a lot of points, just why so many are having trouble. Like the guy said, so many are going balls out on these finals runs, which is why you're seeing so many spills.

the bbc guys are pretty good

 

[Velcro Fly]

Ridiculous ricochets are the only way this Finland goalie is getting beat. 3-0 now but the last two have been off huge bounces off the boards.

 

[PjotrStroganov]

I see that there are more events going on now. Do the broadcasters only get one live feed at the time? I can remember that during the summmer Olympics I could watch 12 streams online.

 

[Juicy Bob]

Ed Leigh is back commentating on the BBC for the snowboard competitions. Pure, unadulterated joy and passion. So good.

 

[Heel]

Parrot is the last run. He made it look so effortless before that last landing. Should be good.

 

[DrEvil]

CBC/bell has them running across like six channels. So that gives some options as to what you can watch. I remember for Vancouver and Beijing they had four "direct feed" channels that ran independently of the networks and basically gave you a commentary and commercial free stream direct from the venues. It was amazing and is sorely missed this year.

 

[zroid]

I love this japanese kid, he's so damn happy

 

[MeBecomingI]

Here we go...

 

[DrEvil]

Ok mcmorris. Redemption time for your cocky ass.

 

[Brinbe]

don't fuck up pls!

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Hours Left]

Whew...

 

[BigJonsson]

McMorris may go into the top 3 with that

 

[criesofthepast]

Not bad. But...not gold I think.

 

[shadowkat]

Yes! Good run.

 

[TheAbsolution]

I love this japanese kid, he's so damn happy

Yeah got a big smile on his face. Nice to see.

Here we go...

 

[bjaelke]

Oh my...that's just amazing

 

[Madness]

Hopefully that was good enough to medal for gold!

 

[The Last Emperor]

Let's go canada

 

[DrEvil]

Extreme old lady close up!
